So for the average player, there is no net change... (Destiny)

If it was for anything besides cosmetic items, there might be a problem. But it's not, since non-cosmetic items are tied to Tokens and specific milestones.

You also get Mods in those bright engrams. So it's more than just cosmetic items

Except you can buy far more mods with the glimmer that you earn between those engrams. If you're playing so much that you hit the throttle trigger, then you've likely earned enough glimmer to make Mods a non-issue (and the rate at which you earn glimmer is unaffected). And as we've long-since established, the blue mods are borderline useless; they mostly just serve to help create Purple mods.
